Sarasota Palm Tree Guide

Many people don't realize we have so many different species of palm trees in Sarasota.  By far the most common is the cabbage palm, our Florida state tree which can be seen growing in the wild from coast to coast.  Giant royal palms are a favorite in front of buildings and resorts.  The Foxtail palm is a popular choice for new installs due to its low maintenance.   Click on any palm to see more pictures and descriptions including pros and cons of the species.
